Responsible Vape Disposal with ResQ Vapes

Start Stashing — It Starts With the Box

Don’t toss it, stash it. Whether it’s one of our custom ResQ Vape Stash Boxes or any container from home, the first step to responsible vape recycling starts with holding onto your used devices. Bring your stash on your next vape run and drop off without skipping a beat. If your shop doesn’t have a ResQ Bin yet, refer them — and you could win $100!

Drop Off Without Skipping a Beat

Tossing used vapes in the trash isn’t just careless—it’s dangerous. These devices contain lithium batteries and nicotine residue that can pollute landfills, litter our streets, and even explode when compacted endangering our service workers. That’s why ResQ Vapes makes safe disposal easy. Just bring your stash to one of our drop-off bins located at vape shops and dispensaries across Mesa and Greater Phoenix. You’ll be protecting your community and the planet—without missing a beat.

Our Responsible Disposal Process

Once you drop off your used vapes, our trusted partners take over to ensure they’re handled responsibly. Here’s how it works:

  • Unloading and Sorting

  • Assessment for Reuse and Recycling

  • Processing and Neutralizing Non-Recyclable HW Materials

This process ensures that vape waste is managed safely, protecting our environment and communities from the dangers of improper disposal.

Why It Matters

Over 7 million disposable vapes are sold every day—most ending up in the trash or on the ground. Inside each one? Toxic waste, lithium batteries, and plastic that can pollute for generations. Worse, when crushed in garbage trucks or compactors, these vapes can ignite or explode—putting sanitation workers at serious risk. By partnering with ResQ Vapes, you're helping protect people, our streets, and the environment. Let’s turn this crisis into a movement—and build a cleaner, safer Mesa together.

Choose a Compliant and Sustainable Path

If you're retailing disposable vapes legally, you must have a reclamation process in place to comply with regulations. Non-compliance can lead to fines or even closure. ResQ Vapes offers the best solutions to keep you compliant while promoting sustainability, with both a free option and a low-cost subscription plan. Together, we can do the right thing—keeping used vapes out of landfills and off our streets.

  • Stay Compliant: Our bins ensure responsible disposal, helping you meet legal requirements.

  • Free Option: Get a branded bin with quarterly servicing at no cost, featuring partner ads.

  • Subscription Plan ($250/month): Choose a ResQ-branded bin with monthly servicing, or customize it with your messaging for an additional fee.

  • Sustainable Impact: Show customers you care about the environment, boosting loyalty while keeping vapes out of landfills.
